Given your mission parameters & operating conditions , a tracked electric would seem about the only viable option. On a conventional round wheel bike, those narrow-ish rolling wheels wont perform well even if fitted with studs when pulling a payload, it'll want to dig down more than forward...

Electric bikes & their lithium ion batteries dont like cold. Wrong tool entirely. Yikes ! You'd do better to look at other successful arctic expeditions & see what type of equipment has proved worthy in those conditions. As you're surely aware ; your life may depend on the equipment choices...

Maybe not a Cake bike .. Link ; uh-oh

The premise is great & the execution surely looks the part ! A competent lightweight that doesn't need thousands of $$ in power & suspension upgrades. Yes please. I'd wonder what kind of range can be expected from a 39Ah battery with a 15Kw nom / 25Kw peak output ? I have a 200lb Ultra...

It's interesting ; for most single track trails Varg needs to be less motorbike / Ultra needs to be more motorbike. I bought an Ultra & have been developing the chassis ( throwing $$ at it ) for a couple months, it needs several critical mods / parts to feel competent & thus fun on the trail. I...

When one thinks of electric cars, which name comes to mind ? Chevy Volt ?, Ford Escape -E ?, Audi E Iron ? Nope .. it's Tesla. Why ? because they were 1st to have a viable product that consumers actually wanted to purchase. I think the big manufacturers are lobbying hard to throw up...

It's one of these ;

Thanks, very well .. so it shall be. Looks like this ;

Alta throttle, tried it for one ride on my Ultra Bee. Liked the stock Surron throttle better for it's lighter spring. 100 shipped in cont US.

FIM = spineless hypocrites. All these sanctioning bodies shout from the hilltops about 'growing the sport' .. & then they cave under the least bit of pressure & exclude one of the very things that offer new opportunities for more participation & additional venues. Isn't that the definition of...

It's not entirely clear .. when their webpage is opened , readers are greeted with the page below which is difficult to reconcile with their actions regarding electric competition bikes.

Any proponents & current manufacturers of electric MX bikes are up against some significant headwinds for electric being able to participate in AMA sanctioned events anytime soon. - Honda, KTM , et, al likely ( surely ) have outsized influence in the rule making process of the AMA, so until...

Wow, didn't figure a Stark clone would show up this soon, early '24 availability ? Thats right around the corner. Imagine a scenario where there's more of these in the hands of consumers than the genuine article .. Realistically though, with a full size chassis, full size wheels & suspension...

I take more issue with the f-ing bandana than the item mentioned. Standing instructions ; if I'm ever seen wearing 1 - bandana or 2 - sunglasses indoors .. just kill me, it'll be the humane thing to do. Ryans YouTube vids may just be the best thing on the entire platform.

A thought ; the hole in the e-bike market appears to be a light full size bike with all the premium components & suspension. It's apparent that given current battery chemistry, theres a significant weight penalty to be paid if the expectation is a full Moto length of hard running time. If a...

Incorporated into a lever somehow ? That'd be great. Maybe it'd be able to be used on several different E-bikes ... If you were to succeed - patent that thing & enjoy the royalties from licensing that holy grail of e-bike drive trains to OEM's !

The terms ; 'interrupt the signal' & 'precise deployment of power' would seem contradictory as signal interruption is on / off by definition. Clutches on the other hand meter power as gradually or quickly as desired via the amount & speed of lever movement imparted by the user. Maybe if a 2nd...

Anyone who made it past the 5 or 6 minute mark deserves a medal & would be a good special ops candidate for their proven ability to withstand even the worst of interrogation tactics. ..

Interesting indeed .. the engineering & execution of the machine is impressive. Such compact architecture. Those carbon / resin shroud supports should hold knurled brass inserts quite well, I'd have more confidence in their reliability than say .. KTM's wood screws into plastic arrangement...
